Popular abstract art is something I have mixed opinions about. Some of them look real lovely, and I would buy one if, only if, I knew the meaning behind it or the inspiration behind it.

Which got me thinking of some popular decorating trends...

After having seen tons of images on blogs and on Pinterest over the past couple of years, I have decided that some of these trends are not for me. They are beautiful by themselves, and probably look great on someone else's home. To each, his/her cup of tea, right!

Simply put, if these were pages in a book, I'd shut it and reach for another one ;-)

1. All Whites or Pastels. Too dainty for my taste. Not even for a little girl's room.

2. Uptight furniture

Thankfully the rug softens up this space

3. Way too craftsy DIY decor

Button embellishments and all

4. Overdoing 'traditional' in a modern apartment. Too much of brass (one in every vignette) for instance. Heavy, carved wooden furniture in small apartments. All just to bring in the desi look.5. Everything in place. An artistic/aesthetic mess ought to find a place in every room I say.6. Gold overdose. Gold and copper is definitely in these days. Gold-dipping appears to be the DIY of the year. But this?
